simplythebest 0 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 RANGERS legend Sandy Jardine has slammed the posse of players who are trying to quit for free at a time when the Light Blues are in their deepest crisis. Top stars Steve Davis, Steven Naismith, Steven Whittaker, Allan McGregor and Kyle Lafferty, youngsters Jamie Ness and Rhys McCabe plus livewire Sone Aluko have all indicated they will not report for pre-season training tomorrow. Jardine says their actions smack of self-interest and greed and he is furious that if they succeed they will deny Rangers much needed revenue through transfer fees - even at reduced prices. It sticks in the throat of a man who gave his all for Rangers in 674 competitive matches during 17 years of service as a player. He has no truck with top players not wanting to play in a lower division - as appears likely for Rangers - but he is deeply disappointed that the players are not honouring deals they brokered in March whereby they could leave for reduced transfer fees. In essence they would still get their move away, but at least the club would benefit to some degree. Speaking exclusively to RangersTV he said: "I am dismayed and disappointed by the actions of the eight players. "You have to say that if the players were up front and honest you would respect them more. "What they have done is seen an opportunity - whether it is them or their agents - to maximise their income. "The players took a salary sacrifice but for that they got clauses in their contracts which would allow them to leave on rock bottom prices if clubs came in for them. "I have to be honest and I think the players have used our predicament to their gain." http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/football-news/article/2824408 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
